Now that the screaming and cursing have subsided. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ........Does anyone know why the engine tin machine screws are slothead and round as opposed to hex and phillips head ? I'm sure there is some teutonic engineering reason behind this...

After spending an unscheduled 45 minutes on a single engine tin scew yesterday, they have exacted a heavy price. I was hoping that the roundheads were somehow worth 2 hp or something so that the suffering would have some meaning (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ... I'm off to Lowes/HD for some hex heads...
